Hi Cam,
DeleteDo you know anything about Robert Smith who manufactured in Dalesford Circa 1860'ish.
Would appreciate as chasing one of his products.
Am also chasing a bonding brickmade by T.H Widdlecombe C 1870's.
Thanks.

I found some bricks, I'm trying to identify them, one says Høffmen on it, spelt with an en not an, and with the letter O like that aswell, and also BRICS that barely have a frog on them with two raised nipples in the middle
